    Summary

    For a second, the cool air of the fan hit the skin of his neck like a balm. A shiver ran down his back and Daniel thought it was relief, from the heat, the itchiness, the stares. It was actually the beginning of the end, and Daniel just had no fucking clue.

    “What is that?” The voice, his voice, broke the stillness. Cut through it. Swiftly, elegantly, leaving no bloody mess behind. Lestat sounded mocking, sharp, like he'd wanted it to hurt.

    “What?” Daniel turned back around to face him; continuing to show him his back, the fragile bend of his neck, felt too dangerous.

    “On your neck. What is that on your neck, Daniel?”
    __________________________

    Years after that disastrous interview in San Francisco, Daniel Molloy is working as a music journalist in Los Angeles and is tasked with interviewing rock 'n' roll's newest enfant terrible, Lestat de Lioncourt.

    It wouldn't be an issue, if it weren't for the scar on his neck. Two rows of teethmarks, the gnarly outline matching that of Lestat's husband's mouth.

    A second chance encounter for Daniel. A second chance at uncovering the dangerous, dark memories he has forgotten, or been made to forget.

    Summary

    The last thing Tim needed was to get involved with someone who worked for Gotham’s meanest crime lord—or was him. Either way, getting into bed with the Red Hood was a really bad idea.

    Summary

    The Front Man closed the space between them in two short strides. His gloved hand darted out to grip Gi-hun’s face, forcing his chin upward. “I entertained your demands to re-enter the games, indulged your misguided notions and faulty sense of duty. I let you play the hero, at the expense of my own guards. I let you have your fun.”

    “Why indulge me at all?” Gi-hun burst out. “Unless some part of you agrees with me?”

    “I gave you a chance to prove me wrong. You failed.”

    “I failed because you murdered Jung-bae.” Gi-hun’s voice hitched over the lump in his throat. “And Young-il.” And probably every other member of their failed coup.

    The Front Man stilled. “Player 001 has not been eliminated.”

    Gi-hun’s heart gave a painful lurch. He must’ve heard wrong. That, or this was another game. Another trick to drive him to the breaking point. “What did you say?”

    “Cooperate and you’ll see Player 001 again, as a sign of goodwill.”

    After the failed coup, the Front Man offers Gi-hun the chance to see Young-il again—in exchange for his continued cooperation.

    Summary

    He doesn’t know what’s worse, getting caught by your boss with a faceful of noodles during what is definitely not the sanctioned lunch break, or the fact that he’s managed to break Rule #1. Gi-hun’s mask feels like a fifty pound weight where it rests against his thigh.

     

    Aish, what a lame way to die.

    Gi-hun wouldn’t say that he enjoys his job. When you get right down to it, life as a pink guard is days filled with hefting dead or dying bodies into coffins wrapped in bright pink bows, and then sliding those same coffins into an incinerator one after the other.

    Add to that the fact that his boss, the extremely terrifying and cool Front Man of the games, has suddenly taken an interest in him, and Gi-hun is starting to think that it might be time for a much needed vacation.

    Or: Guard!Gi-hun is just trying his best to pay his debts and support his sick mom, Jun-ho is still wandering around set on bringing down the games, and In-ho finds himself unexpectedly charmed by the antics of Worker 456.
